Meet the 2018 Community Fellows

Team Asheville

Team Asheville is working on an open data dashboard that empowers the community to analyze the “State of Black Asheville”. The dashboard will be a resource that collects and enables data-driven research and analysis of outcomes along racial lines, and makes the information accessible to the community at large.

Team Austin

Team Austin is working on technology that connects underserved populations with affordable housing. It will aggregate real-time inventory, and provide insights to the city that encourage additional affordable housing investments.

Team Honolulu

Team Honolulu aims to develop and deploy a user-centered design and a creative problem-solving process to connect sustainable solutions, and equitable transportation access, to the largest public works project in the history of the state of Hawaii, which is the HART light rail project.

Team San Jose

Team San Jose is researching how to improve the city’s My San Jose service, which is designed for residents to report blight such as graffiti, illegal dumping, potholes, and such. They’ll work to ensure that the service is equitable and inclusive in it’s implementation to even the most vulnerable residents.
